Adobe After Effects CS6 
What’s New
Additionally, this cache contains frames from all projects you have opened in the same or earlier 
sessions, so disk-cached frames from one project will be retrieved for reuse in other projects that 
need those same frames. 
You have control over which disk you use for caching as well as how much space to reserve for the cache.
New graphics pipeline
After Effects CS6 better harnesses OpenGL and the video card in your computer when drawing 
images to the screen. This results in faster interactivity, a more highly responsive work 
environment, and a smoother, more immediate user experience. 
You get improved playback of memory-cached frames as well as improved performance while 
working in larger Composition, Layer, and Footage viewer sizes (particularly useful for working 
with larger image formats and on larger displays). Specific benefits include faster manipulation of 
layers with graphical overlays such as bounding box handles, masks, motion tracker points, and 
motion paths, as well as working more efficiently with viewers that contain overlays such as guides 
and grids, custom user interfaces for effects, and interactions like brush size adjustments.
Based on early tests of After Effects CS6 performed by NVIDIA®, depending on hardware 
configuration, many of these functions have been accelerated by a factor of 1.5 to 2.5—with  
some (such as grids, guides, and rulers) being up to 16 times faster than before.
